SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results.1 We 

invited interested parties to comment on 

the Preliminary Results.2 This review 

covers three respondents: COFCO, Niran 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Niran), and 

Sunshine. Commerce rescinded this 

review, in part, with respect to Niran on 

February 3, 2021.3 No interested party 

submitted comments on the Preliminary 

Results. Accordingly, the final results 

remain unchanged from the Preliminary 

Results. Commerce conducted this 

review in accordance with section 751 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is citric acid and certain citrate salts 

from Thailand. The scope of the order 

includes all grades and granulation sizes 

of citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate in their unblended 

forms, whether dry or in solution, and 

regardless of packaging type. The scope 

also includes blends of citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as 

well as blends with other ingredients, 

such as sugar, where the unblended 

form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate constitute 40 

percent or more, by weight, of the blend. 

The scope also includes all forms of 

crude calcium citrate, including 

dicalcium citrate monohydrate, and 

tricalcium citrate tetrahydrate, which 

are intermediate products in the 

production of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate. 

The scope includes the hydrous and 

anhydrous forms of citric acid, the 

dihydrate and anhydrous forms of 

sodium citrate, otherwise known as 

citric acid sodium salt, and the 

monohydrate and monopotassium forms 

of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also 

includes both trisodium citrate and 

monosodium citrate which are also 

known as citric acid trisodium salt and 

citric acid monosodium salt, 

respectively. 

The scope does not include calcium 

citrate that satisfies the standards set 

forth in the United States Pharmacopeia 

and has been mixed with a functional 

excipient, such as dextrose or starch, 

where the excipient constitutes at least 

2 percent, by weight, of the product. 

Citric acid and sodium citrate are 

classifiable under 2918.14.0000 and 

2918.15.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),

respectively. Potassium citrate and 

crude calcium citrate are classifiable 

under 2918.15.5000 and, if included in 

a mixture or blend, 3824.99.9295 of the 

HTSUS. Blends that include citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate 

are classifiable under 3824.99.9295 of 

the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review

Disclosure 

As noted above, Commerce received 

no comments on its Preliminary Results. 

As a result, we have not modified our 

analysis, and will not issue a decision 

memorandum to accompany this 

Federal Register notice. Further, 

because we have not changed our 

calculations since the Preliminary 

Results, there are no new calculations to 

disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b) for these final results. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. We will 

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of the importer’s sales in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is either zero 

or de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by companies 

included in these final results of review 

for which the reviewed companies did 

not know that the merchandise they 

sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, 

trading company, or exporter) was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.4

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties will be effective for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the companies 

listed above will be equal to each 

company’s weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review (except if that 

rate is de minimis, in which situation 

the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) 

for merchandise exported by a producer 

or exporter not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior completed 

segment of the proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer has been covered in a prior 

complete segment of this proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established for 

the most recent period for the producer 

of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 11.25 percent,5 the 

all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).
